LifeVac Home Kit
$69.95
LifeVac is a non-powered, non-invasive, portable suction device used to clear an upper airway obstruction. LifeVac has a one-way valve that does not allow any air to enter a choking victim on the downward motion. The LifeVac comes fully equipped with an adult mask, a pediatric mask, and a practice mask. The duration of the suction is minimal which makes LifeVac safe and effective. LifeVac is easy to use in an obstructed airway emergency. Free online training is available.
• No prescription required
• Not equipped to be used on persons under 22lbs. (Based on the mask manufacturers general guidelines for the pediatric mask, 22lbs. is the recommended minimum weight for a proper fit. We have confirmed that LifeVac is safe and effective for this weight range and above.)
• Check masks periodically and strongly consider replacement every two to three years
The LifeVac is a non-powered single patient portable suction device developed for resuscitating an aspirating victim when the standard protocol has been followed without success. The negative pressure generated by the force of the suction is 3 times greater than the highest recorded abdominal thrusts. The duration of suction is minimal so LifeVac is safe and effective.
- No prescription required
- Not equipped to be used on persons under 22lbs.

I have purchased this from my CPR trainer. It saved my adult disabled sons life today. He was choking on carne asada french fries while I was driving on the freeway. The fries had become this pasty guacamole ball of fries. He was scared and not moving air. He has cerebral pasly and is a spastic quadriplegic. He uses an electric wheelchair and his chair is tied down in the van. If I wouldn’t have had the Lifevac, it would have taken too long to get him out of the van. I would have had to merge to the right hand lane, deploy his ramp, unstrap his wheelchair, turn on his chair, back him out of the van, remove his tray, chest harness, seat belt and shoe straps, just so I could get behind him to do the Heimlich. Instead, it took me SECONDS with the assistance of my other adult son, Phillip (25), who has autism to get the device off of his chair and out of his backpack, put it together, use it and dislodge the pasty ball of french fries. If it wasn’t for lifevac my son Rhett (28) would not be here. I have been asking people for years how I am supposed to help Rhett if he chokes. I can’t reach around his wheelchair to do the Heimlich and he is so fragile and small I would really hurt him. After using this device on Rhett he had some popsicles to help with some soreness and was checked by a doctor to verify he was ok. His recovery was 1 day. Amazing!!!
My other son, Phillip, had recently taken the CPR course with me and received training that included the lifevac. He has some processing issues among multiple other diagnoses, but he understood that his brother was choking and how to help because of his training. So, I believe that many people of different abilities and with some training could use this device to save a life, including their own.
I have heard people talk about the price being steep, but how much is your or your loved ones life worth to you. Plus if the Heimlich is used on you, you may have other hospital bills to help you recover from broken ribs or worse. They will be much more than the price of this awesome device created by this amazing man!
Thank you and Thank god!

I got this device last month to be on the safe side. My sister has down syndrome and is overweight. On top of that, her thyroid issues have always made her more prone to choking. This device makes me feel so much safer about any choking situation that might arise, which she is prone to.
The package comes with a practice device. Its snug and has a ton of suction. Hopefully Ill never need to use it, but I feel like my home is much safer now if I ever do.
